The scientific practice of keeping and breeding honeybees in artificial wooden hives to harvest honey, beeswax, royal jelly, and propolis.
The Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera) is the best commercial species because of its gentle nature, high honey yield, and resistance to swarming.
Wooden bee boxes (brood and super chambers), comb foundation sheets, a bee veil/suit, leather gloves, hive tool, smoker, and honey extractor.
The smoker burns dry leaves or pine needles, producing cool smoke that triggers a survival response in bees, making them calm and safe to handle.
In a dry, shaded area protected from strong winds, near flowering crops or orchards (within 1-2 km foraging range) and clean water.

The queen is the only fertile female in the colony, responsible for laying up to 1,500 eggs daily to maintain the hive population.
Bees are highly efficient pollinators. Their active visits transfer pollen between flowers, boosting crop yields by 15% to 30% naturally.

Yes, starting with 2 to 5 boxes is ideal for beginners to learn bee handling and hive management before expanding commercially.
